When you create a new mob and don't save it, it attempts to free a prototype for a mob that doesn't exist (at least that's what I remember) The easy way out is to not let people quit after creating a new mob.. force a save.. Harder is to figure out that it's a new mob and skip the free/redoing of the prototype an the mobs in the game. This was about six months ago.. and there may well have been a patch or something to fix it.. Oasis debugging is a big haze to me..
